How many calories are required to raise the temperature of a 150. g sample of gold from 25 °C to 175 °C? The specific heat of gold is 0.0308 cal/g °C.

Respuesta :

Answer: 693 Cal

Explanation:

The heat required to raise the temperature of the gold from the initial temperature to then final temperature is 693 cal.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the gold, m = 150 g
  • Initial temperature of the gold, t₁ = 25⁰C
  • Final temperature of the gold, t₂ = 175⁰C
  • Specific heat of gold, C = 0.0308 cal/g⁰C

The heat required to raise the temperature of the gold from the initial temperature to then final temperature is calculated  as follows;

[tex]Q = mc \Delta t\\\\Q = mc (t_2 - t_1)\\\\ Q = 150 \times 0.0308 \times (175 - 25)\\\\Q = 693 \ cal[/tex]

Thus, the heat required to raise the temperature of the gold from the initial temperature to then final temperature is 693 cal.
